Moscow's location in Idaho's Palouse region, characterized by cold, snowy winters and warm summers, creates dynamic pest pressures. Pests constantly seek refuge from outdoor extremes, forcing them indoors. The prevalence of older homes and university buildings also contributes to varied infestation risks.
Cockroaches: Moscow's cold winters force cockroaches indoors, seeking warmth and moisture in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, particularly in older buildings and student housing. They exploit utility penetrations and foundation cracks, establishing hidden colonies that contaminate food and exacerbate indoor allergens.
Termites: Moscow faces a moderate risk from subterranean termites, which remain active underground, even during winter. These destructive pests silently erode wooden structures, from historic building foundations to modern home framing. Regular professional inspections are crucial for early detection and preventing extensive damage.
